About IM Youth

Welcome to Immeasurably More! The name of our youth ministry comes from Ephesians 3, where Paul prays that the people of God would know and love the God who can do immeasurably more than we can imagine. That is the same prayer that we lift up for all our students who participate in Immeasurably More (IM).

Unless otherwise specified, IM is open to all students in grades 7-12.

Our typical gatherings occur every other Tuesday night from 7-8:30 PM at St. John. You can learn more, as well as explore other ways to get involved, below!

Idaho Servant Adventures

Join LCMS youth from across the United States for a week of service, hard work, campfires and community in the northwoods of Idaho. Idaho Servant Adventures (ISA) takes place at Shoshone Mountain Retreat of Lutherhaven Ministries. Each day, groups of students and leaders are deployed across the Silver Valley for hands on service in the community. Each evening consists of a campfire, a delicious meal and a group activity (rock climbing, horseback riding, river tubing, zip lining, etc.) While adventure is a big piece of ISA, the heart is service. This is a powerful experience for students and the community alike. Students should view this trip primarily as a mission trip, and expect to put in some long hours of hard, meaningful work, doing everything from yard work, hauling and splitting wood, construction maintanence and building projects, day camps and more. Students develop leadership skills, a servant’s posture, and skills that they can take back to their own community, while Shoshone is able to build upon the relationships started by groups even long after groups have returned home. It is a meaningful, impactful week for all parties involved.
